Maritime
The Bonhams Rivercraft and Maritime department provides specialist advice on all aspects of Maritime Works of Art and Ephemera, holding four annual dedicated Marine auctions in the UK and America.
Our auctions showcase a range of important Maritime related artefacts including ship models, pond yachts, nautical instruments, Naval and Nelson memorabilia, yachting trophies, rowing related objects, together with mariner's craftwork: dioramas, scrimshaw, shell valentines, and woolwork pictures.
The department also undertakes the valuation and sale of classic watercraft.
